de FORTY-THREE YEARS, AT CHISWICK.— 57°.1, 
T доно with previous con- 
ee r and exhibitions at Chis- 
vera, Shov. wick, notably those connected 
with Apples, Roses, Ferns, Conifers, Pinks, 
Chrysanthemums, and Dahlias, the exhibition of 
vegetables was considerably inferior, and the 
information elicited as to vegetables and their 
culture conspicuous by its absence, The weather 
this time was all that could be desired, but the 
attendance was not large. 
It must be Sel tea mem this was the first 
oocasion for some years when efforts have really 
been 5 by the дауа отаны Society to

the exception of a very асе d 
exhibition from Sir TREVOR LAwnE ENCE, there 
was far too meagre enterpri 1se, and one licked 
in vain to the exhibits from the largest and best 
firms for anything new among phage nt for 
something that would m a 
Mr. Warrx, gr. to Colonel W. P. Tar 
may also be сенін оп edi erte ш 
exhibited in the class for nine distinct kinds. 
Potatos were exhibited in moderately good 
quantity, the quality of the tubers in very many 
cases being quite satisfactory, The Peronos- 
pora pest has made itself visible in most gardens 
since the drought of the early summer was 
followed by showers, In the gardens at Chis- 
wick this unpleasant fact could hardly fail 
considerable loss 
will be experi ong 
bers of late varieties. Natu — oe

upon the exhibition tables, and in this 
рш, exhibition produce frequently illus- 
trates in no sense the bulk of the crop outside, 
in size or quality; and this re- 
mark might be equally applied to roots, which we 
regard as remarkable, bearing in mind the 
climatic conditions of the greater part of the 
season, In another place are given full par- 
ticulars of the produce in each of the classes, and 
we need not refer to them more in this place, 
It is соу nu o add, however, that the great 
seed-growers, though failing in the particular 
already Mie e nevertheless made a capital 
тт of vegetables of all sorts, 
and though the various collections con- 
i w vegetable, they  illus- 
ry best varieties 
er, each was in good 
а Should a ы Exhibition by the 
Royal Horticultural Society become an annual 
event, and we are strongly of opinion that it 
should do so, there must be some readjustment 
кер revision of the schedule, in the endeavour 
to make it more popular with exhibitors, and 
likely, also, to produce an exhibition that shall 
present more educational features than did the 
one under notice, When this has been done, 
and the event has become recognised 
important one, there is no reason we know of 
why this exhibition should not become the best 
illustration of vegetables ever seen in the 
country,
